This is just hilarious, at this point. They had a team of over a thousand FBI analysts going through these files for months, flagging all instances where Trump's name came up. Apparently, he was mentioned so often, that they simply decided that they couldn't release any of it.
Now they're being forced to release it all, and here we are months later...and they're still struggling to redact all mention of Trump. Seriously, how deep up Epstein's ass did he go? Was his name on every single page?
And shouldn't they only be retracting the victims names, not the perpetrators.
And it's not like we aren't all going to replace "redacted" with Trump, in every instance it would fit anyway.
I think it's not just Trump. They said something along the lines of releasing it would have catastrophic political consequences.
I imagine they are trying to balance redacting enough so that the redactions themselves won't cause enough of an outrage so that the unredacted stuff needs to be released, redact stuff in a way that none of the various cliques in both parties feels slighted enough to flip the table.
Add to it that there are probably international contacts in there as well, so an unredacted release could topple US-friendly regimes worldwide. And then the backchannels are probably being lit up constantly by scared rapists with wealth or contacts.
